Background for this: Larry O'Connor was employed briefly by the Weekly Standard to revive its moribund website before being fired, probably because he wasn't toeing the infinitely NeverTrump line the outfit insisted upon.

So when he says what he says, he knows what he's talking about.

It's adorbs the way the Beltway swabbies who never held a real job in the real world are having their minds collectively blown by the notion of NDAs

Is it because their stock n' trade is girlish gossip, or b/c they never did anything important enough to keep confidential? ⛴️ https://t.co/RJuGeHpyyR

If the Weekly Standard finds NDAs contrary to the public interest, they should immediately release Larry O'Connor from the one they made him sign, so we can hear how the sausage gets made in a little-noticed dusty corner of the Fourth Estate.
